Answer: [tex]\bold{13\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{hours}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola Skate Rental:   4.50x + 35

Arc Hawk Skate Rental:  5.25x + 25


If you want to know when their cost will be the same, set the equations equal to each other.

5.25x + 25 = 4.50x + 35

0.75x + 25 = 35          subtracted 4.50x from both sides

0.75x = 10           subtracted 25 from both sides          

     [tex]x=\dfrac{1000}{75}[/tex]        divided both sides by 0.75

     x = [tex]13\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]        simplified the fraction
